New Year 2024

Another year done and dusted and a brand new one starts.

I’m just glad that I’m still alive, though life gets more boring as one’s age advances.

There are however some things to look forward to, such as new books by favourite authors and perhaps some new music in the offing as well.

And of course I’m still waiting to receive the long ago ordered numbered edition of John Crowley’s wonderful novel, Little, Big.

According to the latest news, this edition is expected to be mailed in January this year. Cross fingers, after waiting for nineteen years, I may have it in my hands in February or March, barring World War III or some dire Climate Change disaster preventing delivery.

The upcoming Autumn Racing Carnival somewhat piques my interest, even though I’m feeling a tad too old to attend, but stoic that I am I’ll probably head out to the track a few times.

In the mean time I wish any readers of this blog a Happy New Year.
